    Before you build

    Outdoor kitchen questions

    What sizes do your BBQ islands come in?

    Straight islands come in four lengths: 5, 6, 8 and 10 feet. The 8 and 10 foot islands add room for a sink and a refrigerator, and the 10 foot island also takes a 40 inch grill, a side burner and drawer storage. L-shaped islands are quoted to order, for example a grill island joined to a bar island.

    Which grills can I choose?

    Every island is built around a TrueFlame® built-in gas grill in 25, 32 or 40 inches. The 32 and 40 inch grills add a rotisserie burner and lit knobs. The 25 and 32 inch entry grills come without the lights.

    How much does an outdoor kitchen island cost?

    Call for price. The price depends on the size, the parts and the finish you choose. Call (713) 412-0900 or send us your island and we will quote it. Delivery and installation are quoted as a separate line item.

    Do I need a contractor?

    No. The island arrives in two or three sections built to your layout, and two people can put it together, or our team assembles and installs it for an additional charge. The gas line is connected by a licensed plumber, and a refrigerator or lit grill needs an outdoor GFCI outlet added by a licensed electrician.

    Propane or natural gas?

    Either. Every grill and burner is made in a natural gas and a propane version. Tell us which your patio has and we will order to match. Switching a grill from one gas to the other is a job for a qualified technician.

    Will it hold up in Houston heat and humidity?

    Yes. The frame is aluminum, so it cannot rot or rust, and the grill, the doors and the drawers are #304 stainless steel. TrueFlame's lifetime parts warranty covers the grill's burners, grates and stainless steel. In humid weather, wipe the grill down and let it dry before you cover it.

    Do I need a permit or HOA approval?

    Rules differ from one city to the next. Inside city limits, a new gas line or outdoor outlet usually needs a permit and an inspection. Many HOAs, and The Woodlands Township, approve outdoor structures first, and the drawing from the builder above can go with your request. Permits and HOA approval are the homeowner's responsibility.

    Can the island sit on my existing patio?

    Yes, if it is level and solid. A concrete slab works well. Pavers work when they sit firmly on a compacted base. A wood deck needs an engineer to check it first.

    Do I need a vent hood?

    If the island sits under a patio roof, TrueFlame calls for a vent hood over the grill. In the open air, you do not need one.

    Can I choose a finish that matches my house?

    Yes. Choose from three granite countertops and five natural stones, and ask us about others.

    Can I return an island?

    Islands are built to order and cannot be returned, so we confirm every part with you before the order is placed.
